Re: Lossless Audio in Games

Re: Lossless Audio in Games I also agree that lossless sounds better and the storage space requirements for lossless audio are quite reasonable these days. The problem I have with lossy audio isn't so much that it isn't the original. My problem is that lossy audio may show its

Re: Lossless Audio in Games

Re: Lossless Audio in Games I'd like to weigh in here. I'm a little late to the party, but I love flac and would love to see lossless audio in an audiogame. The differences for me are subtle, but I can definitely tell when audio's been compressed. As I say, it's subtle

Re: Lossless Audio in Games I'm all with jaybird here, we could do so much, with so little, with out sacrificing quality or storage. I'm also a fan of the retro things. Nice to hear that someone knows about that old calqulator! URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/49220

Re: Lossless Audio in Games

Re: Lossless Audio in Games Sorry for taking this a bit off-topic, but being the retro tech geek I am, I love experimenting with different ways of making audio as small as possible, especially back in the day when it had to be programmed into a tiny ROM chip. As far as I know the first

Re: Lossless Audio in Games @John: Fair point. Flac is fairly new, and a lot of players carry experminetal support. Right now its space is half that of wave. Ogg did the space conservation game well while not losing as much quality as mp3. If and when flac improves they'll probably be

Re: Lossless Audio in Games Hi. Personally, I'm all for lossless audio in games. I don't think hard drive space is an issue any more, and I would rather have better sounding audio than smaller files URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/492153/#p492153 -- Audiogames

Re: Lossless Audio in Games

Re: Lossless Audio in Games I would love a world where lossless 24 bit, at least 96K audio was the standard in gaming, but that would require pretty expensive hardware to even be able to hear the difference, assuming your ears were even capable (some people can't tell the difference)

Re: Lossless Audio in Games For sounds/audio environments, I'd say lossless all the way. If people don't like it they can get a larger hd and more ram, sata-based ssd's are becoming more budget-friendly with the advent of pciE-based drives. AS for ram/cpu it's all base

Lossless Audio in Games

Lossless Audio in Games Hi all,I am interested to hear your thoughts on lossless audio compression for audio games. For those of you who do not know the difference, let me explain briefly.Uncompressed audio is usually stored as .wav files; this is the Microsoft format that is most commonly
